        About the Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology at University Hospital Bonn

        The Department of Adult and Pediatric Otolaryngology at the University Hospital Bonn provides the diagnostics and treatment of all head and neck diseases. It offers the whole range of surgical treatment of otolaryngological disorders, ranging from the removal of tonsils to complex skull base surgery and cochlear implantation. Special attention is paid to cancer and reconstructive surgery. There is maintained close interdisciplinary cooperation, namely the department is part of the Center for Integrated Oncology (CIO) Cologne/Bonn. The Chief Physician of the department is Prof. Dr. med. Friedrich Bootz.

        The department has a modern Diagnostic Center that offers patients all the capabilities of diagnosing the sensory organs. In addition to the standard methods of hearing check-up, the department routinely applies such techniques as differentiated testing of touch and taste, functional testing of the facial nerve, brainstem audiometry (ABR, auditory brainstem response audiometry), otoacoustic emission testing (OAE). Of particular importance is pediatric audiometry for the diagnostics of hearing impairment in infancy, including appropriate hearing rehabilitation with the help of hearing aids. For vestibular assessment, the department uses modern methods of videonystagmography and electronystagmography, as well as caloric testing of the vestibular system. A modern ultrasound machine provides the accurate diagnostics of neck and salivary gland diseases.

        The department ranks among the leaders of ENT surgery in Germany. The surgeons have a broad arsenal of the very latest medical technologies. These include, for example, modern surgical microscopes, endoscopes with cameras and high-resolution screens, intraoperative neuromonitoring devices, etc. The surgical procedures on the middle ear, including cochlear implantation, are performed using modern operating microscopes. A large number of laryngeal interventions are performed using a laser. The highest accuracy in the paranasal sinus and skull base surgery is achieved through the use of intraoperative navigation, etc.

        Priority is given to surgical oncology and reconstructive surgery. The most common cancers faced by the surgeons of the department include malignant neoplasms of the larynx, as well as ear tumors and other head and neck tumors. Thanks to close cooperation with other Cancer Centers, the doctors are able to develop optimal integrated treatment programs. The decision on the use of primary and adjuvant therapy are made with the participation of radiation therapists, oncologists, and therapists.

        The service range is complemented by outpatient care in such fields as allergology, follow-up care after cancer treatment, plastic surgery, cochlear implantation, somnology/ronchopathy, etc.
